[nabs-l] Learning Braille

[Ashley Bramlett]

hi,
Are you an international student? That's cool they mail material way over to 
india.
I  did not learn braille via hadley.
how do they teach braille?
Can you describe how they introduce the letters and what order they intro 
the contractions? do they start with whole letter words first? like the 
letters standing for one word, like k for knowledge.

Thanks.
Ashley

Hadley's program is great. I highly recommend it. And, it is available
in India.

Best,
